From therapy to recipe… Welcome to my blog. Here you’ll find reflections, recipes and stories. Whether they’re stories that come from scientific studies or stories that come from my clients themselves, I’m always making connections back to food. Every dish tells a story, and kitchen lessons tend to be life lessons. So here, every month, I will post a recipe for life. Each one is a life lesson inspired by therapy, sprinkled with a bit of psychology, and linked to a meaningful recipe. My recipes are generally quick, pretty easy, always tasty, sometimes a little bit different and inescapably Greek Cypriot in some way or another. My approach to cooking is simple: it’s about flavours and ingredients that ‘attach’ well together to create something delicious. I’m still a therapist in the kitchen – always trying to understand relationships between things, whether ingredients or people. And it’s noteworthy that wherever my blog includes any reference to a client’s story, I have their full permission to do so and their confidentiality is always maintained.
I hope you’ll be nourished in more than just the food sense.
It’s been said that people come to therapy to talk about what they don’t want to say. But whether it’s on the couch, in the kitchen or in any other area of life, talking can be difficult, and uncomfortable. It may be the bread and butter of my job, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy…
